Just for the Record [Paperback]

Geri Halliwell (Author), Dean Freeman (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 26, 2003

This glorious mix of over 100 exclusive photographs and an honest and heartfelt text was one of the biggest publishing events of 2002. Now, Just for the Record is available in a new mass-market format. Geri’s story is revealing, frank, brutally honest and, at times, shocking. The book reveals the real story of her life over the last five years. But it is Geri’s telling of her personal battle to overcome the eating disorders that have plagued her since childhood which really makes her book stand apart. There has never been a celebrity book like it when it comes to explaining the stark reality of weight obsession.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great!!![.], March 5, 2003

Melissa Sanchez (Wichita Falls, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Geri: Just for the Record (Hardcover)

Ok, I got this book, and I am in love with it. First of all,I loved "If Only", which was her first book. But, it was story that never got finished. She leaves the first one with you wondering if her solo career is gonna make it, and this one picks up where she left off, and shows her spunky greatness. This book, along with the great pictures is very good. Anything and everything is shown about her life. This is a book that really makes you wanna change and be a better person. Going from 1998 to 2002 shows all of her triumphs and struggles. Anorexia, singles not getting number one, and break ups take up a major part of the book. But also, it shows her awards, loves , and performances, that make you feel like you are right there. READ THIS BOOK. The reading itself is good, but also, there are hundreds of pictures of her in the book that show her from then to now. If you have any intrest in this woman,you'd better buy this book.

This review is from: Geri: Just for the Record (Hardcover)

This book pics up right where If Only left off. This book is an excellent read, which holds your interest and it has amazing full page pictures of Geri. I would recommend reading If Only first because "just for the record" is a continuation of it. These books are great reads even if you aren't a fan of Geri's music because she has gone through so much in her life, and it is a very inspirational book with a positive message. This book is also a ,must have for any Geri fan. Even if you don't like to read, the pictures are amazing and there are many of them.

This review is from: Just for the Record (Paperback)

I have to admit I only bought this book because the Spice Girls were getting back together and thought it would be cool. I'm not much of a reader but, this book kept me entertained, I read the whole book in one day, "If Only" should be read first but really it doesn't need to be, this book portrays even more in depth how and why Geri left the group when she did and she writes about her struggles with what she wanted to do after that decision, she also explaines her troubles with eating disorders and her passion for yoga, a great read, even if you aren't a fan!
